        Arguing with Tom isn't worth the time (even though I still partake) once you realize his political True North: forgoing all personal freedoms for lower crime and social order, and doing so at all costs (including human rights, human lives, martial law, etc). As was/is the case in DPRK, Stalinist Russia, Hitler Germany, and now we have Apartheid South Africa to add to the list. Order trumps freedom, singular power trumps choice, scientific accomplishments trump racism and bigotry, and sweet military uniforms trump famine and military defeat. Then he makes disparaging comments about the liberal hype-crunk media machine and our Marxist/Socialist agenda to take over the world with a black Muslim infiltrator.

        So enjoy the rest of the discussion, there's endless enlightenment to be had here if you keep an open mind devilock76. Drop out, and tune in bro.

          So we have deviated from the subject of health care that was the original topic. So let me ask you, is it because they are black, or because a group of subjugated have made poor choices in creating a socialist government?

            I find it amusing that his idea of works cited is youtube.

              Obviously they were exploited by a racist agenda, and they are largly uneducated and ignorant, so they fall for this racist communist crap, and now their country is in ruins and barely livable, for anyone. It went from bad to way worse. Their "answer" was worse than the question.

                I asked you why, not what (or what they are), granted it as an opinion question:

                  I told you why, they are uneducated and ignorant and been made pawns to support a racist thug government, thinking their extremist views would benefit them, which it hasn't, it's only made their country worse.

                    You told me what? You have told me what has happened and kind of said what they are. I am asking which of those statements aligns with your why. In short I am asking you the age old question of nature vs nurture. It is really quite simple.

                      It would be nurture. That's uneducated and ignorant. I think I wrote it clearly.

                        So in short, the crime there is in fact the fault of the white's then, since they are responsible for that nurture, is that what you are saying?

                          No, and again your blame the honky mentality is not the answer, and is why SA is in it's condition. They are not responsible for their nurture.

                            I haven't stated my opinion, I am asking you to clarify yours. So if it is nurture and you agree that they were nurtured under apartheid, then explain to me who is responsible for that nurture in your view.

                              PS. the undereducated and ignorant are such from lack of equal available education, just how it is in the US's rotten urban cores

                              Blaming the "blacks" for all the issues commonly associated with their racial group fails to address that the wealthy and powerful made them that way through years of subjugation

                                Aparthied or not, there were and still are masses of poor ignorant uneducated peoples, all over the world. It's been over 15yrs now since that system has been gone, and it's worse there now.
